Now that we are more than a week removed from the draft, you have probably seen a million things people have written about it and the players the New England Patriots selected. I, however, wanted to add some things that have been kicking around in my head ever since. So without further ado, here are four leftover thoughts on the Patriots’ draft weekend.
New England traded back in the first round, but that was to fill in the gap between the 23rd and 87th overall picks, so that move was easy to predict. What was not easy to predict was that the Patriots would not trade back again in the draft, and instead move up the board multiple times.
